Cranberry Scones

Another favorite {and healthy} recipe that I make often -- especially when I'm dieting --  is the Cranberry Scone.  It's a wonderful breakfast food, mid-morning snack or a wonderful dessert served with coffee or tea.  The best part of all is that it only has 4 Points in the new Weight Watchers Points Plus program.  {Love} it!
